In today's world, prospective patients and families increasingly are evaluating hospitals
not only for the quality of care they provide, but now more than ever, for the level of security
and safety afforded during the patient's stay.

Security Assessments International (SAI) can support your hospital's effort to provide the highest
level of security possible for your facility through a comprehensive proactive audit of your Security Management
Program. With years of expertise in healthcare security and risk management, SAI's consultants
can advise your hospital on the appropriate level of security needed and recommend measures to implement
state-of-the-art protection for your patients, visitors, staff and assets. SAI's founder, Jeff Aldridge, is a recognized
leader in maternal-child care and pediatric unit security and the prevention of mother/baby mix-ups.

The process for engaging an SAI security professional begins with the submission of a RFP. Whether your hospital
or healthcare organization is preparing for a Joint Commisson survey, fulfilling its annual risk assessment requirements, completing a Statement of Conditions, has security related issues and concerns, or is looking for an independent
review of your Security Management Program, SAI's professional consulting services are taylored to meet your specific needs.
